Yeah is everyone okay? I haven't heard anything here in Los Angeles and it's only a state away.........so thinking maybe it was an uneventfull emergency landing. Most are, you know.

Well, some may not be okay until they can get to a shower and a change of pants.......other than that, I hope all is okay!:)
 
Gee I hope I didn't speak too soon. Hopefully no news is good news...
 
I think so HH.........they do the "Breaking News" stuff here for way less things than that would be if someone was hurt. Especially with the CART race this weekend at Fontana.
 
I read where everyone is fine. It was crew members on the jet, Christian had taken a commercial flight earlier in the day.

PHOENIX -- A corporate jet reportedly owned by NASCAR's Petty Enterprises and carrying the racing crew of driver Christian Fittipaldi made an emergency landing at Sky Harbor International Airport Wednesday night.


Shortly after departure, pieces of shredded tire was found on the runway and the pilot was instructed to return. However, before he could land, the pilot had to circle the airport in order to burn fuel.

With Phoenix fire standing by, the plane landed safely around 6 p.m. None of the nine passengers were injured.

The jet reportedly belongs to Petty Enterprises and was carrying the racing team of CART driver Christian Fittipaldi, the newphew of Formula One racing legend, Emmerson Fittipaldi. Initial reports indicated that Christian Fittipaldi was on board the plane along with his crew.

Christian, who left on a commercial flight earlier in the day, has been in town testing at Phoenix International Raceway to prepare for his NASCAR debut at next week's Checker Auto Parts 500 race.

Earlier on Wednesday, Litchfield Park Mayor Woody Thomas was injured in a charity race at PIR.

Glad to hear no one was hurt and that everything is okay with that situation. :)
 
Thats good news to hear that everybody walked away from the incident. That would scare the crap out of me to have that happen.
 
update from jayski!!

UPDATE: the Petty plane that made an emergency landing did so safely and with no injuries, info suggests that they blew a tire on takeoff, and after dumping fuel made a safe landing with minor damage to the wheel hub. Nobody was hurt.(Petty Enterprises source)(10-31-2002)
